Viscometer

01 January 2013

Hydramotion’s XL7 online process viscometer monitors viscosity in any oil industry process. The instrument stores all specific data on the transducer, allowing for flexible installation. The accompanying VP550 readout unit features a clear display showing dynamic or kinematic viscosity in live and/or corrected formats within a user-defined reference temperature. The device provides continuous real-time viscosity measurement with high resolution, repeatability, and virtually unlimited range. It contains no moving parts, which reduces wear and maintenance. The high-temperature model (HT2) can be used at up to 450°C (842°F) without special cooling. It is suitable for installation in hazardous areas up to and including Zone 0 (explosive atmosphere continuously present). It is rated for operation at 20,000 psi.
